Will’s love for building began in high school through drafting and architecture classes, where he discovered a passion for designing custom spaces. That passion grew deeper in 2015 when he built his first tiny home—and from that point on, he was hooked.

While teaching middle school, Will spent evenings, weekends, and school breaks working on construction projects, continually learning and refining his skills. In 2021, he stepped away from teaching to work with a general contractor in Stockton, gaining hands-on experience across all aspects of residential construction as well as small business management.

Just over two years later, Will earned his California General B Contractor’s License and launched Lenz Construction.

Today, building thoughtful, functional spaces for families and businesses is more than a career—it’s something he genuinely loves.

When he’s not working, Will enjoys spending time with Lisa and their five children, running, gardening, and being outdoors.

I’ve always loved walking into a space and imagining what it could become.

My mother is an artist and interior designer, and I grew up surrounded by conversations about color palettes, fireplace mantels, fixtures, layouts, and furniture placement. Watching her work — and being part of those discussions — shaped my eye for design and formed my deep belief in collaboration and the value of listening. Great design doesn’t happen in isolation; it grows out of conversation.

Designing our first tiny home was especially meaningful for me. It was the first space that was completely ours — a reflection of who we were and how we wanted to live. With just 200 square feet to work with, every inch had to be intentional and functional. That challenge refined my design philosophy: beauty matters, but function is essential.

Now, raising a large and growing family with lots of moving parts has only strengthened that perspective. Our home has to work hard — it has to flow, support daily life, and still feel welcoming and beautiful. That balance between practicality and aesthetic warmth is something I bring into every project.

When I work with clients, my goal is to help them see the potential in their space, guide them through thoughtful decisions, and create a home that feels both personal and purposeful.
